Wisdom
This Rumi poem turns to a woman diving into the sea:
بگفتم پیر را بالله تویی اسرار گفت ٱری
منم دریای پرگوهربدریابارجوییدش
***
I asked the moon:
Show me the pearl of wisdom
The moon gestured towards the sea:
Go ahead and dive in deep!
***
*In this translation, the moon is symbol of the witness, the inner wisdom. In the original text, it is “pir” (guru)
